Tim Cook might be stepping down as CEO of Apple, while a court rules Apple must pay penalties on infringing Apple Watch patents. Trumps tariffs might be ruled invalid, which would cost the country billions. Roomba might be going bankrupt, which would kill all those robot vacuums. Google has some big plans for gaming, and will allow “experienced” people to install software on their phones.

And we HAVE to chat about all the Steam Hardware announced last week!

Let’s get our tech week started right!
